1 Samuel 25:9 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: young men, shepherds · What happens: come, speak, accord, cease, name · To what, where: Nabal, David · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 25:9 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — young men, shepherds — and what happens in the verse to Nabal, David, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ נַעֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד וַיְדַבְּר֧וּ אֶל־נָבָ֛ל כְּכָל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה בְּשֵׁ֣ם דָּוִ֑ד וַיָּנֽוּחוּ׃

And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

The tree

Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.

Targum Jonathan

וַאֲתוֹ עוּלֵימֵי דָוִד וּמַלִילוּ עִם נָבָל כְּכָל פִתְגָמַיָא הָאִלֵין בִּשְׁמָא דְדָוִד וּפְסָקוּ:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
